Liga BetPlay forecast and preview: Deportivo Cali moderate expected to top Jaguares de Córdoba

Jaguares de Córdoba have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Deportivo Cali form and stats

With 2 Liga BetPlay wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Deportivo Cali are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The Cali manager García and his pawns return home after a 4-4 draw away versus Alianza Petrolera. There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Alianza Petrolera as Velasco's goal in the 90th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. Rodríguez, an attacker, was the highest rated player for the side in that match, scoring a rating of 8.13 (out of 10). Rodríguez scored two goals, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Millonarios (2-4).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Deportivo Cali have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 1 time, drawn 6 and lost 4.

Goals keep flowing in this team's league fixtures, with 5 in a row having three goals or more (over 2.5).

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Union Magdalena are coming to town in four days.

Deportivo Cali have scored 9 league goals here from 10 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Deportivo Cali have conceded 12 goals. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Jaguares de Córdoba form and stats

Jaguares de Córdoba have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Liga BetPlay, after 1-2-7 (10 played).

Two away games in a row for Jaguares, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus Millonarios. Jaguares de Córdoba goalie Soto was glad for a great shift versus Millonarios, but despite making ten saves the defeat could not be evaded.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Deportivo Pereira.

Jaguares de Córdoba are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats. From a total of 9 matches.

A new game in only four days for Jaguares, the Liga BetPlay home match versus Envigado. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Jaguares de Córdoba as they have only managed to score 9 times from 10 away games in the league.
